Army operatives have raided Daily Trust Newspaper headquarters in Jabi area of Abuja barely hours after invading its regional office in Maiduguri, Borno state.
ElombahNews gathered that the soldiers struck on Sunday, taking away computers, laptops and other properties from the newsroom.
Earlier, the soldiers had invaded the Daily Trust regional office in Maiduguri and arrested the regional editor, Uthman Abubakar and a reporter, Ibrahim Sawab.
Although the Army is yet to issue an official statement over the raid, it was gathered the incident might not be unconnected with the lead story of Daily Trust on Sunday on military operations in the North East.
The Newspaper had reported that the military plans to reclaim Baga and other communities taken over by Boko Haram some weeks ago.
